But you're walking around in public with your permed hair trying to fit in and assimilate so the difference is?

And most of the girls in this pageant obviously permed their hair. The winner is probably natural ghh

So again, your point?

Arent u one of those members that questioned the authenticity and legitimacy of the black girls who date white men but preach pro blackness. I cant take lessons on "whats real black" from a nigger that just admitted to perming his hair to make himself look more passable. Ur moot in here. BYE!

I didn't do it for that reason. I responded to the comment I might have made in the past. That if at all, it just meant you play along. Personally I did it cause I will cut it all off soon anyways. I don't have issues with being seen in natural hair because as a man you really don't get shamed for that. And looking more Middle Eastern is only cute in the ghey world, otherwise being black is actually better received that being a sand nigger.

You clearly don't understand why there is Miss Black Texas peagant in the first place and a Miss White Texas would be frowned upon. It's a retaliation to systemic racism and counters the underpromotion and misrepresentation of black women. Women who actually pass as white have no need for compensatory events such as Miss Black Texas.

I get it.  There does need to be some more brown and dark skinned wins in those pageants.  I saw that at my school, too. 

But we don't know the conditions of this particular competition, either.  This girl might have put in a lot of work for the win. Most of the times these girls have to kind of campaign for it for years.  They have to become a member of some popular organizations on campus, be seen at the big functions, do a bunch of mandatory preliminary pageant functions before they can win enough of their peers' votes.

The person who wins Miss whatever University usually has participated and placed in the Miss Freshman pageant, Miss Sophomore, and on up.  So this girl probably put in the effort for years to get the win.

So are y'all saying to take away all that girl's efforts because she doesn't look black enough?

[LOONA.]

Didn't you just say you were trying to look more middle eastern and less black?

fhd

Either way in America you'd still be listed as a minority and nowhere near white passing.

No one can take you seriously in this thread when you're applying the same black beauty standards to yourself to make you look less black.

And he definitely spoke on perming his hair in relation to his middle eastern side n mess. U aint no naturalista and u aint no fist pumping, card carrying black man. In here going so hard against some shit that u subscribe to.  Just CAN IT

If anything I acknowledge the racist world I live in and that it can come handy to pass as Middle Eastern instead of black sometimes. It can be convenient.

That is just the truth as far as people having to assimilate for social privileges. I don't think I did it for that reason but maybe subconsciously it played a role. Even so there is no shame in it. That's why we all agree that cultural appropriation by whites is not comparable to cultural assimilation by coloreds.


I just don't see how it related to a person that passes as non-black being crowned as Miss Black Texas.

If it's based on much more than beauty, I'm fine with it. If it's about physical beauty I find it problematic.

Boy you're literally whining about the black beauty standards that helped her win this competition when you're doing the same thing in regards to assimilating and trying to appear less black because it'll come in "handy" or whatever

Like your really don't see the correlation at all

Vonc, you aren't proving anything. We wear western clothes and?! As an individual you are weak, as a powerful institution you should lead the way.

That's just how you feel about yourself which explains the perming and trying to look anything but black.

oh but subconsciously!

You clearly have a problem
